Nobody's Child Lyrics

AS I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day.
And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play.
Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry.

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower I'm growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile

Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child

People come for children and take them for their own.
But they all seem to pass me and I am left here alone.
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
They always take some other child and I am left behind.

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower I'm growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile

Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child

No mommy's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry.
Sometimes it gets so lonely I wish that I could die.
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see.
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me.

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower I'm growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile

Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child

Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
